Black Pepper has been used for thousands of years for a variety of things.
Black Pepper essential oil is steam distilled from the unripe, sun-dried fruit (peppercorns) of the Piper nigrum plant of the Piperacease family. It has a warm and spicy aroma and its aromatic influence is comforting and stimulating.

I confess… this is an essential oil that I have used minimally in the past… but after researching and learning more about it, I look forward to using it more!
